Tall and dark . with a head of bushy, curly hair that must cause every bald-headed man to blush with shame . and every straight-haired lady to cry to heaven against such a mal- distribution of nature's gifts . "Amby" was one of our better intramuralites . being a stellar and versatile performer in prac- tically every form of intramural activity ... In football a passer and pass-snatcher of dreaded ability . Important link on his corridor basketball team . and a member of at least one championship five . Slugging first baseman with the will and power to stretch for them . "Amby's" most beloved indoor di- version is cards ... no matter what the game . Bridge, how- ever, is one of his favorites . The most welcome gifts he re- ceives are razor blades . for among his possessions is perhaps the heaviest beard outside of Russia . Whatever "Amby's" calling, he goes forth from Holy Cross well-equipped for the rough-and-tumble life of a rough-and-tumble world. cMaly Qi&M, College ADRIAN PAUL DRIGGS, A.B. 314 Eighth Avenue Brooklyn, New York Brooklyn Preparatory School Brooklyn, N.

Lincoln, Hamil- ton, Lee and Portland, Maine . enamored of his trench coat . the brunt of Professors' jokes and the brain of Professors' classes ... a dapper, dependable daguerreo-type of the "compleat man" . member of the intellectual elite . according to his own testimony he has read "part" of every worthwhile book in English literature . shies at Sanskrit ... as energetic Managing Editor of the Tomahawk, his services were indispensable ... as a jour- nalist he also was father of "Campus Figures," step-father of "Over The Quad" . slated to bestow his genius on Wall Street . a tennis star of parts and the slingin' Sammy Baugh of touch foot- ball . canny bridge partner . known affectionately as old A. P.; Ade; A. P. D. and Driggsy! ... to top all his accomplish- ments, he is the best room-mate in the business . ask the man who roomed with him .

"Digby" Dunn . intramural athlete and authority on eco- nomics . All seasons found him ready for some sport or other ... in fall, a triple-threat man with an uncanny knack for snatch- ing passes ... in winter, a dazzling "goalie" on the class hockey team . spring saw him holding down almost any position on the baseball field . His most beloved study was Economics . perhaps the passing years will reveal Paul or "Digby" as one of our captains of industry . if so he will certainly show us something unique in office decorations . for Paul's room ex- hibited an amazing variety of posters, from a skating party at Lake Placid to a beach scene at Miami . posters, posters, every- where . except on the ceiling . and they probably would have been there were it not for the steadying influence of his roommate . But "Digby" was ever the optimist . and per- haps he hoped some day to visit all the places his posters made famous . let's hope his dreams come true! y cMcu? Gi&iA GoUeae, HENRY AMBROSE DUNPHY, B.S.

Passed his first college days at St. Anselm's . enrolled at H. C. in sophomore and has had no regrets . "Skip" ... A perfect score of poems submitted and accepted by the Purple . recog- nition in the Purple Anthology . narrative lyrics and odes flow easily . the collection of his best lines would make a best seller . knows hundreds of ballads and has invented as many more ... A nomad by nature . every vacation means a trip and more entertaining adventures ... an awesome array of photographs . without a doubt has led the most varied and interesting life in the class ... a nature lover . likes woods, hunting and fishing . enthused follower of all sports . Philosopher with a wealth of common sense developed more than the average . nobody knows all about him . we probably couldn't remember it all . virile humor . courage and de- termination best describe him . and they will bring him a glorious career in medical surgery.

Sodality 1. 2; Outing Club 1, 2; Intramurals 1, 2, 3; Freshman Baseball: Worcester Club 1, 2, 3, 4. A native of nearby Marlboro . his smiling countenance is ever welcome . Hector attributes his curly hair to the fact that he never wears a hat . always made the daily run from his home town in record time . creased many a fender in so doing . He has always been a standout on the intramural baseball dia- mond, especially when he displayed hi9 wares as a first baseman ... a well known figure on the campus, who had a cheery word for one and all ... in Philosophy and Education classes he was ever prepared with the matter . possesses out-standing business ability . Hector's humorous jests and pranks added joy to the noon hours in the Cafeteria . although not a full-fledged Wor- cesterite, the Worcester Club had him on its roster, and he proved ^*I to be a worthy member . The "fairest" in Marlboro succumbed to his winning manner . the business world beckons to "Hec," and we know that it will profit by his apt qualities . one thing that we are certain of is that Hector will always "come smiling thru." cMo-Ui Q>ugAA, Galley FREDERICK CHARLES J.

Little thinking is necessary to recall who it was that was so non- chalant in the teeth of the fiercest exams . Fred's arctic calm was due to an intelligence which quickly comprehended the matter . and invariably resulted in high honors . The scion of St. Louis' proud heritage of culture and the fulness of living . who sacrificed a broken leg for First Beaven on the altar of intra- mural football . Memorable are his Blakesian flights of poetry for the Purple . his radical conservatism ... a vocabulary that would vie with Webster's . his dissensions in the Cross and Scroll . his sudden flaming into a light of the social world ... A master of understatement . Classicist . Poet . Es- sayist . Student of Literature . Psychologist, thinking deep and fearful thoughts . One-time President of the History Academy which blossomed under his penetrating guidance . Champion swimmer . music-lover ... In fine he was . Fred Dyer ... a gentleman of varied tastes ... a student of outstanding ability ... a thinker of admirable independence. GERALD JOHN FAGAN, A. B. 5 Lucian Street Worcester, Mass.

Light . buoyant . not afflicted by serious moods ... a twinkle of the eye and a peal of laughter ever accompanied him . tense atmosphere and grave situations were quicky eased by Jerry's presence . keen wit and good humor won those with whom he came in contact . came to Worcester at the start of Freshman year . attended military school in the capital city of New York State . his former home . envy of the entire school in Sohomore year upon his return from a Christmas vaca- tion in Florida . sported a tan throughout the rest of the winter . known by every intramuralite as equipment dispenser . "first come—first served" his motto in all situations . ever prominent in Worcester Club activities . served both on the Easter Dance Committee and promoted the Football Smoker during the past season . outstanding in finance and business courses . ever ready to admit an error . reluctant to concede a point until convinced . convincing in himself . and in his fortune in futures . "trap the ticker tape, 'Jerry'." CiaM Galleae. DONALD FREDERICK FARRELL, A. B.
